Helpful faculty members and better college life.

Placements: 60-80% of students are placed in various companies and NGOs every year, with the highest package being 6.5-7 LPA offered last year. Top recruiting companies like Syngenta, Bayer, Godrej Agrovet, UK Crops, and Indorama PVT. Ltd hire students every year.

Infrastructure: Facilities like smart classrooms with A/c and projectors, and Wi-Fi in the classrooms are always available with high-speed data networks. There is a very unique system for the accommodation of students in a hostel like separate rooms for 3 students. The mess and canteen facilities are available in our college.

Faculty: Teachers and faculty members are very helpful, especially the faculty of entomology. They prepare students for the industry with RAWE (Rural Agricultural Work Experience) and ELP (Experiential Learning Programs); a total of eight semesters occur in the B.Sc. Hons. Agriculture course.

Other: The course is very helpful for prospects and also helpful for making students successful entrepreneurs.

I am absolutely dissatisfied with the language problems.

Placements: In BCKV, placements after completing a B.Sc is not so good. Very few students got placed in private banks like IDBI Bank. If students are selecting BCKV because of placements, then do not choose this college. According to the NIRF 2024 report 2024, 83 UG students and 37 PG students got placements with a package ranging from 4.76-6.74 LPA.

Infrastructure: In the library, Wi-Fi is available. It is one of the largest agricultural libraries in eastern India. The hostel infrastructure is poor, but 2 to 3 students live in a single room. There is an almirah, cupboard, etc. We have to manage all these by ourselves. The college was established in 1974, so according to it we cannot expect too good about the hostel. Otherwise, it is quite good for living and it is not a big issue.

Faculty: It is one of the best State agricultural universities in West Bengal. Professors are good, highly qualified, and helpful. If we don't know the Bengal language then we face difficulty in classes because many professors do not know English. Each year 2 exams are held. There are mid-term for 20 marks and end term for 50 marks with practical exams of 30 marks. If we fail in 4 subjects then we will get a year back also. So, students should try to pass in every subject. The pass percentage is about 90%.

Other: Many fests and agricultural events are held every year with the coordination of many renowned colleges in India. Krishi mela is also held. Freshers party, new year celebrations, and Saraswati Puja are also celebrated. The campus is good. The market area is also good.

It is an above average college having a great campus life, but no placements.

Placements: No placements are offered by our University, but after completing the degree, the students can appear for several job related exams like AFO, NABARD or may continue their higher studies. No internships are provided by our university, students can appear for other internships offered by other institutions on their own. The university will not provide any help regarding the same.

Infrastructure: We have a huge library with Wi-Fi facilities and all kinds of practical labs, but the size of the practical lab is too small to accommodate all the students. There is a shortage of classrooms, there are no specific classrooms for specific courses. University has all kinds of hostel accommodations for which one should pay only the mess charges. We have a medical emergency facility available 24*7.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful and all of them are Ph.D. holders. They teach like we’re their own children. Lack of smart boards make the lectures tough. Agriculture is a good course and the students are prepared for a vast field beside the course. There are two semesters in a year having a total of eight semesters. Duration of one semester is around 6 months including mid sem, end sem and practical exams. Students who fail in more than 4 subjects, get a year back.

Other: Agriculture is the backbone of our nation. By improving agriculture, we can improve our food security during harsh conditions. There are a lot of vacancies in this field, so just do it. In our university, social fest like Nairit is organized every year, most probably during the winters. Students may apply for SVMCM scholarship. University promotes all kinds of extra curricular activities like inter-college competitions, cricket, football and others.

This university provides better education and safe environment.

Placements: Currently a little less after covid pandemic, but various scope are opening day by day. Different fungicide, pesticide and fertilizer companies are approaching the campus and NGOs are also associated with this placement process. Hope for a better future.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is present in library, labs are really pioneering for students. Classrooms are mostly smart classrooms with AC and all other amenities along with enough place to accomodate the students. Totally peaceful and knowledgeable environment is present at the campus.

Faculty: Faculty is very much helpful, and highly qualified. Professors and assistant professors and other part of faculty always can be trusted to teach more than only the syllabus. Semester exams are difficult at some particular semesters and guard is very strict. So, learning is very important in this university.

Absolutely satisfied for higher education.

Placements: 10%students got placement and rest have amazing ranks in exams. The highest package is 10 lakh per annum and the lowest is 7 LPA. Syngenta Banks, IFFCO, etc. are the top recruiters. Top roles offered are Agriculture Minister and directors of several institutions. This course opens up the gate to several exams like candidates can opt for govt. jobs like UPSC, WBCS and bank jobs.

Infrastructure: There is not enough accommodation. Food is average. A canteen is there and medical facilities available. A gym is there. Classrooms are smart classrooms with ACs. It has the second largest library in Asia among all the agricultural universities. Wi-Fi is there in the library but in other areas, network connectivity is poor.

Faculty: Pass percentage is 80. Teaching quality is awesome. Exams are hard and the course is absolutely relevant. The students are accepted in foreign institutions as well as in top notch institutions of the country. They even get selected in international internships.

Other: Fests are there once a year. Students can opt for vivekananda or icar scholarships.
